Getting Started with GPU instances in Oracle Cloud

If you are working with artificial intelligence (machine learning or deep learning) projects at some point, you will need to change your CPU instances to GPU instances speed up the training of your models.

Nowadays, most cloud providers offer GPU as a service and you can use it to speed up your projects. Oracle Cloud offers the two most advanced GPU models for your choice: NVIDIA V100 and NVIDIA P100.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to request and create GPU instances in the Oracle Cloud.

Description: Enter a good description (For example: I want to use VM.GPU3.1 and VM.GPU3.2 shapes for my Deep Learning projects. I will use these shapes to train neural networks that I created using Keras and TensorFlow. My projects spend 3 hours with CPU instances and I want to accelerate it using GPU instances).

1) What is your Tenancy OCID?: Enter your Tenancy OCID.

14) Which Region and Availability Domain are you requesting this for?: Enter us-ashburn or uk-london.

15) What service/resource requires a limit increase?: Select Compute.

16) What is the total limit being requested for the above service?:Enter the new total limit (For example: 1 for VM.GPU3.1 and 1 for VM.GPU3.2).

17) What are you trying to accomplish with this increase?: Enter the reason for the request (For example: I want to use GPU shapes for my Deep Learning projects).
